We had quite a storm during the early hours. The thunder was loud enough to wake the Gorse Fox and Silver Vixen. Unfortunately, the Gorse Fox didn't really settle again afterwards. It wasn't a major problem as we had to be and about sharpish. We were expecting Ellie just before 7:30 and the landscapers were due very soon after.
The Silver Vixen took care of Ellie and took her too school. The Gorse Fox took care of the landscapers, making sure they had been correctly briefed regarding the job and also asking that they bury the new conduit that the Gorse Fox has been fiddling with for the last couple of days. They cracked on with the task, only delayed by the late arrival of their truck (which had been off searching for diesel).
The old cotswold stone chipping were removed first, then they dug down and removed soil to a depth of 100cm. A new membrane was put down, then they started bring in scalpings to restore the original level. They slogged away all day and despite being offered frequent coffees and teas, only accepted one. (Maybe the Gorse Fox makes bad coffee).
They have now finished for the day, but will return tomorrow. The Gorse Fox suspects they will complete the job tomorrow.
